Default "Ghost" icon on desktop - huh?

When I have an Excel (or Word) file open on my PC computer, a greyed-out
Excel icon appears on my desktop and stays there until I close the Excel
file. Underneath the greyed-out icon, the characters "~$" appear. What is
this? And how do I eliminate it from my desktop?
